Super reliable car great for families or people on their own.
This car has a great lifespan. It runs super smooth and is quiet. I am the second owner and let me tell you, it is great for long road trips or just driving around town.

For a 2003 it gets good gas mileage 22. 3 mpg.
A little bit of a rough ride, but is a 218, 000 miles. Has been very reliable and not to many major breakdowns. Very big and spacious interior. Overall a good vehicle and would recommend it to someone else.

Almost as good as a Lexus at a lower price.
Comfortable, powerful, low maintenance, good steering, turns on a dime, starts easily in cold weather, heated front seats, good visibility, leather seat covers, good seating capacity, long-lasting paint, good radio, good CD player, good tape player, good tires.

2003 Toyota Avalon: Safe, Comfortable, Reliable
This is an extremely reliable car that has been passed down through my family for several years. I have taken it on numerous road trips, and have always found it to be extremely comfortable to drive. I commute about an hour to work each day, so the comfort and safety that I feel in this car is very important to me. Aside from minor tune-ups (wiper blade replacements, etc.) I haven't had to get any work on this vehicle despite its age. When taken good care of, this is a car that will last for a very long time.

It is a truck so I do not mind helping other people when they need stuff moved.
It drives extremely great. The air conditioning is the best/very cold. Great on gas. Dislike the CD changer.

Overall a decent, reliable car
It's a good car, easy to control and a good size. The turn signal is a little too quiet though. Adequate turn radius

It's very reliable and comfortable. It's also very safe. Sort of like a mini tank despite being compact.
This car is really reliable. It has lots of trunk room for a compact car and is extremely safe to drive. Gas mileage is great. I've taken several long car trips and have never had any issues. Very comfortable.

I have loved my moonroof. The splurge was worth it!
I have loved this car since I bought it new. Has had regular maintenance-new tires, rear brakes, oil changes, etc.. The exterior has a few dings and bad places from regular wear and tear. It has been hit in the rear once and was fixed and the I got hit again. Haven't bit he bullet to have it fixed just yet. Runs well and is a good car.

It is wide and very comfortable
It is a good car. It is comfortable to go on road trips with. Ac often works very good. It runs very smooth. Although it is a V6 it doesn't waste as much gas. In order for it to waist less gas you should fill up your tank and the gas will last you more time.

The atmosphere of elegance means you have arrived in status of the moment!
2003 Toyota Avalon XLS is a very dependable midsize car. It handles the roads with class and power steering tightness. The interior is very elegant with wood design dashboard contrasted by off white leather power designed seats. It can comfortably hold up to five people. The trunk has gracious space for traveling bags. It is loaded with power luxuries such as temperature control daily, heated seats, cruise control plus many more features to catch your eye.

Toyota Avalon 2003: an old one but a good one.
The car is old but runs great. It is a very smooth and steady drive. Sometimes it is so smooth you do not realize how fast you are driving. Turning and brakes are very smooth as well with no issues. The seats are leather but are nice to sit in. It is a larger car, which makes the backseat very comfortable. The car is equipped with jbl speakers. The speakers are great but because the car is old, they do not work in the back seat. If there is no music playing and the speakers are on, there is a high pitched noise.

My car performs nicely, is very reliable, super comfortable, and has amazing features. If you're someone who's very concerned with aesthetic I wouldn't recommend this car because the body of the car isn't very attractive.

Comfortable and easy handling
The Avalon is a great larger car. The seating is super comfortable. The cup holders for the front are great size wise, deep enough to hold my coffee without fear of tipping. It handles more like a zippy sports car than a full size. It has a roomy and comfortable back seat. The trunk is huge and easily accommodates luggage for 4 for a weeks vacation. At over 150K miles and still running strong. Dependable.

My car is the perfect balance between beauty, luxury, and muscle.
I love my Avalon. It handles great, and its luxurious. My kids love the sunroof. I love my lumbar support. I always know exactly how much gas I have left. My lights are automatic so I don't worry. It has high end torque so I get up and go fast and can maneuver through traffic at my own pace and agility. This car is smooth and luxurious. My oldest daughter is next in line for it. I am sure she'll love it as much as I do!

Fuel economy is great for this vehicle
Although this is my 2nd day of ownership, I like how the seats feel, the suspension is smooth over bumps, sound system is crisp, and the instrument panel is outdated but functional, an updated Camry, anything from TOYOTA is going to give years of fun driving..!!

Comfortable summer cruiser.
The 2003 Toyota Avalon is a great commuter car. Good on gas mileage at around 20 mpg, 30 hwy, comfortable quiet ride. Tops out at 140, excellent handling, easy to maintain. Old school tape deck radio, cruise control, cold a. C. And keeps warm in the winter. Power windows/locks, roomy interior and trunk.

It is a large sedan, but very good car for a daily driver. Definitely a commuter.
I bought my vehicle used and I would highly recommend the Avalon to anyone looking for a sedan. I would not recommend buying one from the same dealership. It is a solid, mostly reliable vehicle when properly maintained.

It is extremely comfortable for long road trips, and does not have large blind spots. Also features like the sun roof, seat warmers, and security features (one key turn unlocks one door, two key turns unlocks all) are great. I do of course wish it wasn't so old...I know I will have to purchase another car before too long.
I think the one most important thing others should know about my car is that it is COMFORTABLE.

Toyota Avalon-a great first car.
The vehicle has good gas mileage which makes it really great when traveling far. Additionally, this is my first car so it is very easy to steer and the breaks are not too sensitive. The only thing I do not like is the fact that the car is older so it does not have the more contemporary capabilities such as Bluetooth.

The most important thing about my car is that it does well in any weather.
I really like my car. It is a bit old. Everything works well and is good for my needs. I do not do much driving. The one thing that I wish my car had was seat warmers. It is very comfortable and reliable. I have never had any major problems with it, just the typical battery dying. I would recommend this car overall.

03 Avalon XLS still going strong
It's been through a lot and just keeps going. My Avalon is easy to do most of the work myself. It's reliable and fun to drive. I would be lost without my heated seats and power seat adjust. The radio comes with a tape deck and a CD player. There is plenty of legroom in the back seat, even if the front seats and adjusted all the way back. The gas mileage is great on freeway driving, but when city driving, it does go down a noticeable amount. I've only had to do routine maintenance on this car and it's still going strong.

15 Years and Still Going Strong!
The Avalon is comfortable, reliable and economical. My Avalon is 15 years old and still in great shape. I have it serviced regularly and make sure the tires are properly inflated and in good shape. It still gets close to 30 MPG highway. After 15 years, it is getting some body rust. This could be easily repairable but I'm planning on trading it in within the next 3-4 years.

I like my car because despite its age, it is like the energizer bunny, as long as you maintain it, regular oil changes etc. I have switched to full synthetic oil due to the miles but I have not had any major issues with it since I bought it. .

The only thing I've had to replace was the windshield, the brakes and I've had to change the oil but that's it. It's a fabulous car. I've mainly had Toyotas in my life and so has my husband.
